Evidence of iPod's "continued dominance"...
PiperJaffray said today that it believes that iPod's continued dominance of the portable audio market, is likely having an impact on Creative, which this morning lowered guidance for the June quarter. The company indicated that the 13 percent lower guidance is a result of softer than expected overall market demand for MP3 players and lower ASPs. "Our checks with retailers show that Apple's presence in the retail market remains significantly greater than Creative," wrote analyst Gene Munster. "also, NPD data shows a significant up-tick in Apple MP3 player market share since the release of the iPod shuffle." Munster said the firm believes Apple will "significantly benefit from back-to-school and holiday buying" in the September and December quarters.

The iTunes online music-download service "would be the primary beneficiary" in its category of a Supreme Court decision against peer-to-peer file sharing, PiperJaffray this morning said. The firm noted that iTunes has a 70 percent market share in online music. "We believe a decision against P2P file sharing would be positive for online content distribution companies, as a slowdown in P2P activity would likely lead to a pick-up in sales for legitimate online content providers. Although a decision is expected today, but it is possible that the case could be held over to the next session, which would begin in October, PiperJaffray noted." The firm maintained an "outperform" rating on ApplePodSmith turns iPod into computer "key"
